Bangladesh will aim to finish their Twenty20 World Cup campaign on a high note as they are ready to face the Pakistan challenge as the final frontier of their Super 12 stage at Adelaide Oval Sunday.

Bangladesh's chances of reaching the semi-final will be known before they start the game against Pakistan as the Netherlands play South Africa at the same venue early Sunday morning.

If the Proteas beat the Dutch then the former will qualify for the last four and Bangladesh will crash out as they have an inferior net run rate.

But if South Africa lose, then a win against Pakistan will be enough for the men in red and green to advance to the semis.

Liton Das played a memorable innings of 60 off just 27 deliveries against India and almost pulled off a famous win for Bangladesh at Adelaide Oval last Wednesday.

But Liton slipped while taking a second run after the rain break and later felt discomfort in his hamstring.

The right-handed batter did not take part in the practice session last Friday.

Bangladesh team had an optional practice session Saturday at Karen Rolton Oval but Liton did not train there either.

Batsmen Soumya Sarkar, Nurul Hasan, Yasir Ali Rabbi and Mehedi Hasan Miraz practiced Saturday afternoon.

Team management is hopeful Liton will be fit before the Pakistan game and the final assessment will be done prior to the match.

Bangladesh team are optimistic of producing a good performance against Pakistan and they are focused on winning rather than calculating scenarios of their probable semi-final passage.

“I think they're a very good side. We had opportunities in both games that we played against them in New Zealand. We are aware of their strengths and they're aware of what our strengths are, so it will be a great contest. We believe we can beat Pakistan, but qualifying for the semi-finals is not in our hands, unfortunately,” said Bangladesh technical consultant Sridharan Sriram during the pre-match press conference at Adelaide Saturday.

Meanwhile Pakistan, currently third in the wide-open Group 2 table, can advance if India lose to Zimbabwe in the last league match Sunday.

They are also in if South Africa lose their clash against the Netherlands or the match is a washout.

Pakistan top-order batsman Shan Masood said the way Pakistan fought back to post 185/9 against South Africa in their last game, after being in trouble at 43/4, and then winning by 33 runs via the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method had lifted the morale of the team.

"Mood is good in our camp. South Africa dominated the early stages of the game, but the way we came back and bowled well, even after the rain break, we kept up our momentum,” said Masood.

"So we will focus on taking two points from the Bangladesh game and that is in our hands. Hope will always be there till the last ball is bowled in this group.”

Bangladesh-India game was interrupted due to rain at Adelaide Oval and the match was revised through D/L method last Wednesday.

Pakistan's last game against South Africa also had the same fate as the game was completed through D/L method.

But the weather forecast Sunday looks sunny and bright and there is less chance of rain in both games in Adelaide.

The average first innings total of the Adelaide Oval is 158 and 144 in the second.

Bangladesh have already achieved their best result in T20 World Cup history by achieving two wins in the Super 12 stage, against the Netherlands in Hobart and Zimbabwe in Brisbane, and now the Tigers can finish the campaign in a brilliant way.
